About This Device
The Cradlepoint 170805-000 is a weatherized cellular antenna for installations where the radio path, not the router, is the problem. Sealed to IP67 and terminated in a rugged N-type connector, it is built to live on masts, enclosure tops, and building exteriors year-round - rain, dust, and washdowns included.
RF performance is matched to 3G, 4G LTE, and 5G sub-6 GHz cellular service: the element operates from 600 MHz - 6 GHz with 2-3 dBi of gain and terminates in a N-type connector. Its 2-3 dBi gain across 600 MHz - 6 GHz keeps the omnidirectional pattern honest on every band from low-band LTE to mid-band 5G, a safer choice than high-gain antennas that narrow the beam and punish imperfect aiming.
The N-type interface pairs with standard low-loss coax runs, letting you mount the antenna at the signal and keep the router in a protected enclosure below. The compact 6-inch profile also suits vehicle and cabinet-top mounts where a full-size outdoor whip invites damage.
Cloud Care Networks stocks the Cradlepoint 170805-000 alongside the gateways and routers it supports, so IT and field-service teams can consolidate antennas, spares, and replacement hardware on a single order.
